English officer and gentleman Harry Feversham has wealth, social position, a beautiful fiancée, Ethne Eustace, and a brotherly bond with three close friends. But he also harbors a dark secret.

Fearing he too will flee from combat, Harry resigns his commission when his regiment is ordered to the war-torn Sudan.
